Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Saw the Sherlock Holmes trailer BIG at the Chinese last night before T4, and agree I cannot buy Downey, Jr. as Holmes at all ... at least from the trailer. But those are covers by which I never judge the books.

I walked out on the trailer for Harry Potter because it looked like it was going to show every image in the movie. Hate that.

Terminator 4 was really good, though. I was surprised.

I'd said I would be seeing it because of Lani and hoped to be pleasantly surprised. The result:

To start out by saying something good: McG failed to descend to the level of craptitude he achieved with Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.

To follow up with something bad: McG is a blight on humanity for which one day we'll all be judged harshly. If he is the creation of a benevolent god his purpose must be only to elevate our regard for the crappiest of Michael Bay crap.

Perhaps it could have been different, when the story was away from John Connor (and the increasingly laughable Christian Bale) it actually showed some tremors of life and coherence.

Also, SkyNet is the apparently the stupidest sentient computer ever presented on film and that includes Keanu Reeves.
